1 s4 I, V V..' 0 'if 10, CENTS A WEEK. OLIIWSPEAK- Attorney General of the United States, The Addresses the Supreme Court in the Debs Case. STOPPING THE MAILS Is Almost Wholly Ignored in His Argument. Interstate Commerce Law the Basis of What He Says. Washington, March 26. The hearing on the application 01 Eugene V. Deb3 and others for a writ of habeas corpus for their release from imprisonment, was resumed promptly on the opening of the supreme court of the United States at noon today. Attorney General Olney' made the first argument, speaking in behalf of the gov ernment, in opposition to the application. Mr. Olney said the single question be fore the supreme court was whether the court below had jurisdiction of the case made by the original bill and proceded to show that as he viewed the matter It had. He devoted but very littlw time to the discussion of the government's technical relation to the mails and the mail bags, or to the provisions of the act of 1890, which he characterized as "an experimental piece of legislation" and passed immediately to the coniiideration of the strike as a violation of interstate commerce regula tions?. "The interstate commerce, which is subject to the regulation of congress, comprehends," he said, "a great variety of different subject matter. It is held as respects some of them, that in the ab sence of positive legislation there on by congress there may be action by a state but it has always and universally been conceded that the moment congress does act upon any matter which is part of commerce from that moment the jurisdiction of the United States becomes absolute and ex cludes all other authority. Intercourse and transportation between the states and all the instrumentalities of either are ad mittedly parts of interstate commerce. Transportation of passengers and freight by railroads is of course included. "Not only is that so, but it is also true that interstate railroad transportation has been taken in especial .charge by congress. Having power to control, con-, gress has not permitted the power to l'e dormant, but has freely and decisively exercised it" He the enumerated many of the fed eral laws bearing on the question of in terstate traffic, including those applying to the mail service, those relating to the carrying of livestock and those requir ing the use of certain kinds of brakes, eta "But in this connection and for the present purposes," he continued, "it is more important to note the provisions of several general statutes which cover the whole field of. interstate railroad transportation and show most conclus ively the purpose of congress to exclude every other source and form of regula tion except its own. Section 5258 of the revised statutes declares as follows: 'Every railroad company in the United States whose road is operated by steam, its successors and assignees, is hereby authorized to carry upon and over its road, boats, Driciges, and terries, any property on their way from any state to another state and to receive compensation therefor. and to connect with railroods of other states so as to form continuous lines for the transportation of the same to the place of destination." 'Having by this legislation made street railroads interstate commerce carriers for both governmental and private pur pose, congress, by the act of 1887, auowa as ine interstate com merce aci, inaugurated measures more radical and comprehensive than anything ever before attempted by vir tue of its power to regulate commerca By act the principals, in accordance with which interstate transportation shall be conducted, are laid down and defined, their violation is inhibited under severe penalties, ana to crown the whole, all the interstate commerce railroads of the country are practically put in charge of a commission, wmcn is to see to it that their duties as interstate carriers as pre scribed by congress, are faithfully dis charged. "Finally, recognizing the existence of an evu oi great magnitude conp-resa ho- an act of October 1, 1888, made provision lor tne creation of boards of arbitration to settle controversies havino- th effect traffic. of Hindering and interrupting "As a matter of fact," he said, "in July, 1894, interstate railroad transportation was being interfered with in the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. It was an interference for which with all its consequences and incidents, the present jjcuuuuera arsiome luuest extent re sponsible, unless it be true that men can warn to toucn tne match to Dowder and yet De Diameiess because not rightly realizing the ensuing devastations-, un less it be true that those who seek to ex ecute a plot Dy any means possible, in the upen, anu taking tne legal consequences upon their heads are to be branded as criminals, while those who sit in an office ana natch the plot and urge on its con Sll TTl Tn il H i .mm.uuirb logo unwniDpea or jus tice because of loud-mouthed profes sions ot virtue in general, and respect u ..no KUU oraer in particular." j.uo attorney general admitted that it nMumjoi me state authorities to deal with certain phases of the offences com micied and said: T I" 1 i i i. 6 BO Promptly and ..suU01.r 'uc mierrupuon or interstate railway transportation might possibly cbbbhu, out instead of their ing this they allowed ctr after t pass marked either by local inactivity or JITI05. TOPEKA, KANSAS. TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH by effort so illdirected and inadequate as to aggravate all the evils of the situation. Hence it became necessary for the gov ernment to step in not only in defense of individuals but in obedience to its obligations to protect interstate com merce and because it is the duty of every government to exercise its functions whenever occasion requires." Mr. Olney then passed on to the con sideration of the means at the command of the government for the suppressing of the strike, the principal of which was the courts which must be depended upon so far as practicable to deal with it Mr. Olney then proceeded to consider the assertion that the Chicago affair was exceptional and to controvert the allega tion or errors in the court below, and in closing, said: "What was done by the government and its court at Chicago in the summer of 1894 was done on a conspicuous thea tre and dealt- with' events striking in themselves and in the scale on which they were conducted and which strongly appealed to the imagination, a3 well as to the passions of men. Its action was denounced from the outset as novel aud unprecedented, so that it even be came expedient to publicly proclaim the right and familiar principle that for the execution of national functions every foot of every state Is na- tional soil and national property. "Since then the same policy has been persistently pursued and the govern ment's bill in equity, the injunction and the proceedings for contempt have all been loudly condemned as anamalous, xtraordinary and revolution. To such charges there" could be no- more decisive answer than is furnished by this debate and by the contentions of the respective parties." REED MEN WORRIED. T?ioy Are Disgruntled over HcKlnley'J Success in tils South. Atlanta: March 26.- Private advices received by leading Republicans here indicate that the close friends of Tom Reed are considerably disgruntled over the evident success of the political part of MeKinley's visit to the south. While that visit is social, McKinley has receiv ed as callers at Thomasville leading Re publicans of Georgia, Alabama. Florida and .North Carolina, and they are the men who control. Atlanta, however, furnished the feat ure of his trip that has worried the Reed forces most, and that is the apparent de flection from their ranks of Colonel Buck, Georgia's chief Republican. Buck entertained McKinley when he was here, and is pronounced for his nomina tion. He is not only a power in Geor gia, but throughout the south. And there is another reason why his action has weight; he is a Maine man, and has heretofore been regarded as certain for Reed. Because of this fact his support of McKinley has created some consterna tion among the Reed forces. The letter referred to says that Reed himself feels very much .put, out. at this act of Mr. Bruce, who has heretofore been his warm personal friend. LOST A FORTUNE. A Tounj Man Contests a Will When He I Forbidden. Oakland, CaL, March 20. When Dr. Samuel Merritt died he left a $2,000,000 estate to his sister. Mrs. Garcelon. When Mrs. Garcelon died she left a will pro viding for a trust fund of $500,000, the income of which was to be puid to JJr. Merritt's nephews, James and Fred Mer ritt. One of the considerations of the trust is that should either of the two brothers ever contest her will, testing the wisdom of any of its provisions, or doubt its genuineness, both shall lose every right and title to the trust, the innocent brother suffering alike with the guilty one. I ha trust propertv then reverts to the residuary legatee of Mrs. Garcelon. Nevertheless James did contest the will and was beaten in the superior pealed and the supreme court court He ap upheld the lower court Now the attorney of the estate an nounces that he will notify Capt. J. 1L Knowle3, the custodian of the trust, to cease paying the allowances to both the Merritt brothers. Captain Knowles is in doubt what to do and the matter will be tested in the courts. CARLISLE'S BAD BREAK. The Secretary's Son Violates the Qnar antine Herniations. New York, March 26. Health Officer Doty has as vet received no official reply to his letter to Collector Kubreth and Captain Watkins of the American line steamer Paris in relation to the landing of W. K. Carlisle, who arrived on board that vessel from Southampton, and who was transferred to the revenue cutter Hudson prior to the visit of the health officer aboard the Paris. Mr. Doty was not at quarantine this afternoon, having made a visit to the city. Private Secretary Hall s'tated that an answer was hourly expacted to the communications sent yesterday to the collector and Captain Watkins. Dr. Doty, Secretary Hall said, was in the first place very loth to criticise the action of Secretary Carlisle or Collector Kilbreth, but the violatiou of the quar antine law was so flagrant that he was compelled to take cognicance of it SNOW CASE CONCLUDED. Jadge Hazen Has Taken It Under Advise ment. The case of State Printer Snow against C. B. Hamilton, asKing lor a receiver for the Hamilton Print ng company, which has been on trial most of last week and most of this week, was concluded to day, and Judge Hazen, in order not to be hasty, has taken the case under ad visement, loday has been devoted to arguments in the case.

He is a pleasant conversa tionalist The members of the party say that they are simply out on a tour of inspec tion and that their trip has no particular business significance. If it has anything to do with the plan of reorganization no one in the party was willing to say so. It is the plan to go over tne line to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco on the Southern Pacific, lhe party will then return by way of Ogden enjoying the mountain air and scenery. The party was shown through the Santa Fe shops this morning and the workings of every department were care- lully examined.

The Coterie of Topeka Sluggers in Traln iag For Coining Events. Affairs are lively in Topeka's pugilis tic circles. Possibly everyone doesn't know Topeka has a pugilistic circle, but she has.

Phoebe Couzins Says She Was the Affianced Of the Deceased Nevada MilUon- aire Senator. SUSPECTS POISON. Her Suspicions Are Shared by Other of His Friends. San Francisco, March 26. The Call Bays': The latest sensational develop ment in the noted Fair will case is that insinuations are abroad that the de ceased millionaire died by poison ad ministered by parties interested in his death taking1 place at a certain time. Miss Phoebe Cousins, who claims to have been the affianced wife of Senator Fair, broadly hints at her suspicions that Senator Fair had been given poison at more than one time. The suspicions of Miss Cousins are backed up by a San Franciscoan, who is in a position to know a great deal that occurred to Senator Fair just before his death. This man is keeping in the back ground for certain reasons, but when he tells his story the public will b3 able to form opinions as to whether the suspicions of Miss Cousins are cor rect or not. KILRAIN WANTS XO MEET SULLIVAN. Baltimore, Md., March 26. A good deal of anxiety is expressed lest the illness of John L. Sullivan may do away with the possibility of bringing" the ex-champion and Jake Kilrain to gether in a boxing match in New York, arrangements for vihich were started last week. Since his fine showing with O'Donnell, Kilrain has been the recipient of offers to meet several well-known pu gilists. He said to-day: "I am after Sullivan; it would be more to my ad vantage to meet him than anyone else." The Atlantic club of New York wants him to spar ten rounds with Peter Maher about the middle of April and yesterday morning he received an offer from Montreal for a ten round bout with Billy Woods, to come of in the latter part of April. EXPERT COUNTERFEITERS. Omaha, Neb., March 25. The clever est detectives in the employ of the secret service of the United States government are in Omaha to unravel the mystery surrounding the work of one of the most skill fill gangs of counterfeiters that has ever operated west of the Missouri river and the equal of any in the world. Several bills of small denomi nations have been raised to $10 and passed at the banks. The crooks are evidently experts in this line and clever with the pen, and all figures are made with ordinary ink. THE -NICARAGUA A AIR. United States Cannot Object to the Crea tion of Commission to Fix Damages. Washington, March 20. Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, was at the state department yesterday and the inference is that he has been consult ing Secretary Gresham respecting the British ultimatum. It is evident that the state department is deeply concerned in this matter, and a statement from Ambassador Bayard explaining the purpose of Great Britain is anxiously looked for. It is not be lieved that our government can object to the creation of a commission of fair complexion to ascertain and fix dam ages sustained by British subjects in Nicaragua, and the issue appears to have narrowed down to the demand of an indemnity of 75,000 for the expul sion of Mr. Hatch, British consular agent at Bluelields. It is felt here that in the present depressed financial condition of Nicaragua this is rather an exorbitant demand, but aside from this there is already a disposition to examine into the matter further and ascertain whether the Nicaraguan gov ernment did not act entirely within its rights in expelling the consular agent. Will Reject the Order. Winnipeg, Man., March 20. The order of the dominion government that relief be given the Roman Catholics of Manitoba by legislation granting separate schools has been re ceived by the legislature. The order will be heard in the legislature, but there is no question but that the order will be rejected. There is much bitter feeling here over the question and it is difficult to say where the matter will end. Reed Will Make No Speeches. Portland, Me., March 26. Hon. Thomas B. Reed stated yesterday that he declined the invitation to speak be fore the convention of College Repub lican clubs at Grand Rapids, Mich., on April 0, and that he will make no seeches thi9 spring and unless an extra session of congress calls him to Washington he will remain in Portland until the summer, when he will sail for Europe with his family. Big Ice Gorge Broken. Pittsburgh, Pa., March 2$. The ice gorge in the Allegheny river which has threatened the residents of Kittan ing and olAer towns along the river for several weeks past, is now going out and the danger is passed. The gorge extended a distance of over 30 miles above Kittaning, and was supposed to be frozen to the bottom. Huge ice bergs are now passing down the river, which is rising rapidly at this point. Supposed Counterfeiter Arrested. St. Joseph, Mo., March 28. Jerry O'Connor, a well-known young man re siding at Plattsburg, was arrested there yesterday and brought before United States Commissioner Pollock, charged with passing counterfeit mon ey.

Edward Everett Bala Preside Over a Meeting- pf Irrlsratiomlsts. Boston, March 26. Chairman Wm E. Smythe of the National Irrigation com mittee, representing the irrigation con gress of western states, inaugurated an earnest campaign for hia cause in Wells Memorial hall last night. Edward Everett Hale presided and made a vigorous Bpeech in favor of an organized effort to divert surplus popula tion to surplus lands and develop indus tries and social institutions that would prove a strong attraction to the masses. He thought this movement one of the most important undertaken in many years. Mr. Smythe declared that "the cause of the west, is the cause of the nation," arguing that there is a direct relation between the surplus and in the new states of the far west and the pressure of economic conditions in the east. He be lieves it is necessary to provide an outlet not only for the unemployed, but as a means of bettering the conditions of the middle classes. He claimed that a larger percentage of tenants are found in tne United States than in any other civilized country excepting Great Britain. Mr. Smythe presented telegrams from public officials in Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Montana, announcing that each of these states has passed leg islation accepting the grant of one mil lion acres of public lands on condition that they shall be reclaimed and settled. These lands are now offered for coloni zation on terms which it is believed will come within reach of industrial colonies,' in which it is hoped to interest promi nent working men, financiers and phil anthropists of the east. Mr. Smythe claims that for such ad vantages as will be necessary to move, equip and sustain the people, ample se curity can be furnished upon the lands and water supply. INVESTIGATION BEGINS. The Mine Disaster at Evanston, Wyo., Will lie Looked Into. Evanston, Wyo., March 27. The cor oner's jury will sit this morning to in quire into the cause of the Almy mine aisaster.

It will require several days to examine wit nesses and review the testimony. Superintendent Bradbury and State Inspector Thomas have made an investi gation of the exploded mine but failed to find the originating point of the ex plosion. Contributions are coming in and des titute families are being made as com fortable us possible. UNFAIR FREIGHT RATES. Same Rate Charged to the Pacifio Coast From Pueblo as From Chicago. Denver, March 26. C. F. Smuee of Ban Francisco, general freight agent of the Southern Pacific railway company; Judge J. C. Martin of Oakland, Cal., general counsel for the road; S. H. Bab cock, general freight agent of the -Rio Grande Western, Salt Lake; J. A Mun roe, general freight agent of the Union Pacific railway company, W. R. Kelly, counsel for the Union Pacific, and A. S. Hughes, traffic manager of the Rio Grande, have been in conference in this city concerning the case pending before the interstate com merce commission, wherein the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is the complain ant and transcontinental railroads are de fendants. It is claimed that the rate from Pueblo to the coast on steel rails is greater than the rate from Chicago and that thfj same discrimination is practiced on east bound freight from Pueblo. The railroad officials are seeking to adjust the difficulty so as to prevent the matter from going before the commis sion. No definite settlement was reached. FOUND IN A HOLLOW LOG. Oklahoma House Journal Was Stolen From the Capitol. Ardmore, L T.. March 2C. A startling discovery has been brought to light near Tishomiugo, by the finding in a hollow log of the journal records of the last session of the legislature, which con tained the impeachment charges of Ben Kemp, the then district judge. The records had been stolen from the capital, but the fact was only known to a very few, and efforts to keep the matter concealed are still employed. The books are now in possession of. the national jailer, and some Blartliug developments are expected. SAVED THE REPORTERS.

Three Hundred Government Troops Walk Into the Snare. A DEADLY YOLLET. Twenty-tire Were Killed at the First Fire. Tampa, Fla., March 26. Letters re ceived here by the steamer which ar rived Sunday night state that insur gent bands are active in the vicinity of Sante Svirite. Other letters state that out of a band of 200 insurgents com manded by Perique Perez, eighty are Spaniards. The government rumor that Guilermon is dead is untrue. Quintin Bandert, with 150 insurgents, met 300 Spanish troops between Tia Riba and El Cobro, killing twenty-five Spaniards at the first volley from an ambush. The Spaniards fled in dis may, the insurgents continuing their march unmolested. About the same time the Cubans took Moron, near Santiago, obtaining all the arms in that town. Letters estimate that in two months there will be 25,000 insur gents fighting. La Discussion, published in Havana March 22, gives the following: "In Madrid the troops designated for Cuban service have had their chiefs and offi cers assigned-by regular lottery. There are four battalions and seven regi ments, aggregating about 8,000 m6n. The torpedo catcher Galacia will short ly arrive in Havana, also the armored cruisers Filipinas and Marquez de Molms. The troops that embark from Spain need no armament, for in Havana there are 10,000 Mausier and 40,000 Eemington rifles, with 2,000,000 car trides for the former rifles. Two mil lion more cartridges are expected from Spain. BISMARCK HAS MAST VISITORS. Friedrichsruhe, March 26. Three special trains having on board nearly 400 members of the reichstag and of the Prussian diet arrived here yester day and were received at the railroad station by Count Herbert Bismarck, Count William Bismarck, Count von Eantzau, husband of Prince Bismarck's daughter, and Viscount von Waldersee. The deputations proceeded to the cas tle front, where they were received in a body by Prince Bismarck. Herr von Koerner, president of the lower house of the Prussian diet, made a speech congratulating Prince Bismarck upon the approaching anniversary of hia birth. The prince made a speech thanking the deputies for their kind wishes. Emperor William is expected here to visit Prince Bismarck to-day and a brilliant military suite will ac company him. A review of a number of troops will also be held here in honor of Prince Bismarck. the behring sea fuss. Ottawa, Ont., March 26. It is denied in government circles that there is any likelihood of a new treaty in regard to Behring sea fisheries being negotiated, as indicated in dispatches from Wash ington. It is true that Canadian offi cials will probably go to Washington soon to make arrangements for assess ing the damages suffered by Canadian sealers, as congress has refused to pay the amount, but the general question of Behring sea regulations is not likely to be reopened. LI HUNG CHISS'S ASSISTANT. London, March 27. A dispatch from Kobe says: Li Hung Chang is making good progress toward recovery from the effects of the bullet wound in his face, inflicted yesterday by Moyama Kokunosuki. The wound has devel oped no dangerous symptoms. The would-be assassin is reported to be a lunatic. He has a criminal record and has served a term of imprisonment. TO SURVEY THE TERRITORY. Large Force of Surveyors Will Soon Be la the Indian Country. Washington, March 26. A force of 150 men will soon be at work survey ing the Indian territory under the di rection of trained officers of the geological survey. G. W. Hawkins, who is to have charge of the work, started yesterday, and Charles W. Fitch, topographer, will leave this week. Before the close of the season half the territory will be laid off in section lines. The whole territory would probably have been surveyed this year if the house had not reduced the original senate appropria tion of 8400,000 one-half. The survey ing party will probably make their headquarters at McAlester, and work will begin on the eastern boundary of the Chickasaw nation, going through the Choctaw and Creek lands.

GRANT'S GRANDCHILD &ow at School In New York and Hopes to Graduate at West Point. ,It wa3 the dying wish of General Grant that hia favorite grandson, Ulysses S. Grant II, should be trained for a mil itary life at West Point. As the boy will not be 17, the requisite age for admission to the Military academy, until 899, the general wrote a letter in 'April, 1885, ad dressed to the V. S. grant 11 at THE president who age op 11. should be in of fice 14 years from that date, asking that hia grandson, U. S. Grant, be appoint ed to a cadetship at West Point. The letter was indorsed by General W. T. Sherman and is now in the possession of Colonel Fred Grant, who says: I hope to have the pleasure of pre senting that letter in the White House within the next five years, and I further hope it will have the effect of securing the appointment, for the lad is full of military ardor, and although he doea not say much, "being something like his grandfather in that regpect, he is ear nestly looking forward to the time when he shall be admitted." U. S. Grant II was born in Chicago July 4, 18S2. Aa a baby he had great fondness for boy soldiers, and. this fact did not escape the notice of the general.. He went to school in Vienna while hia father waa minister to Austria from 1889 to 1893. There he acquired not only a knowledge of high and low Ger man, but also became conversant with the numerous dialects and can talk to a German in hia patois, no matter from what part of the fatherland he may come. He ia now at school in New York and stands at the head of hia class. When asked if he would like to enter West Point and bocome a general like hia father, he remarked; "I should like to go there and secure a military train ing. I don't know if I should ever be a general, though. "MOODY OF THE ORIENT.' Rev. George K. Pentecost Now Doing Evan gelical Work In London. Rev. Dr. George R. Pentecost, who, because of hia work in India, has been termed "The Moody of the Orient," is now doing evangelical duty in London aa the pastor of the Marylebone Presby terian church, to which he was called something like two years ago. Mr. Penteoost is, however, a native of the United States, having been born in Virginia, where hia family, an English one, settled some time in the last cen tury. Hia entire life haa been full of ac tion, and his career has been quite out of the ordinary. While he waa a very young man, the civil war broke out, and despite hia Virginian nativity he promptly joined the northern army, and aa a member thereof experienced some decidedly hard fighting. In 1864, hav ing served the term for which he had en listed, he laid aside the implements of Warfare and entered the gospel ministry. His first important pastorate was in Brooklyn, whioh he entered upon in 1869. After three years' labor in the City of Churches he resigned to accept a Boston pastorate, which he resigned in turn, six years later, to join himself to KEV. DR. GEORGE R. PENTECOST. Dwight L. Moody in evangelical work. For four yeara they remained together, when Dr. Pentecost returned to the Congregational church over which he. had formerly been pastor in Brooklyn. After some yeara of comparatively quiet work, he decided to enter the evangelical fi6ld in India, and there he did what he thinks haa been the most important work of hia life so far. When he returned from the land of the Hindoos, lie waa for a time iu grave doubt as to what he ought to do next, since he was simultaneously called to the Loudon pastorate, which he finally' accepted, and the pastorate of the Old Park Street church in Boston. At that time be was supplying the Marylebone Presbyterian church, and hia inclina tions are said to have been in the direc tion of a return to his native land. Aft er carefnl consideration of his duty in the premises, however, he decided to re main in the British capital, and hia la bors there have been eminently success ful. Tired of Uncle Tom. Among the eccentricities that Harriet Beecher Stowe is said to have developed in her old age is a detestation of all ref erence to her famous book, "Uncla Tom's Cabin. She can stand no allu sion, however veiled, to her noted novel, and her friends and relatives are very careful to prevent the mention of the book in her presence. Wealth or the Rothschilds. The Rothschild family of Europe ia computed to be worth $3,000,000,000, the Freuch branch being worth 200, 000, 000.

Ex-United States Senator John Martin returned home this afternoon. He looks remarkably well and does not seem to show any trace of disappointment or re gret 'I was not greatly disappointed," said he to a Journal reporter, 4,at not being appointed to one of the places on the Federal bench in the Indian Territory. The places are only temporary and at the fartherest could last but four years. My name was presented to the president with others and he saw fit to appoint two men who did long service in the housa "The results of the next election will depend largely upon the action of the Republicans in congress the next two years," said the senator, changing the subject. "If the Republicans have trouble, as I think they will, they will be defeated at the end of the two years. "I do not think that the silver party will ever be organized. I rather believe that one or the other of the old parties will take up the issue and that will be the end of the sil ver party." "What will become of the Populists?" "Unless there is relief and the ques tions which divide the people are set tled I expect to see the Pop ulists become an important fac tor in politics very soon. They are already a factor and are heard of everywhere but we will hear much more of them unless something is done. The Populists may surprise the country at the next election. "You do not know what a great dif ference there is between eastern Democrats and western Democrats, and eastern Republicaus and western-Republicans. There is very little similarity between the Kansas Republican and the Republican of New York. The money question is the all important ques tion which divides them. Tnere are very few gold standard men in the west or south, and very few silver men in the east. "I am satisfied that the principal issue in the next campaign will be on the money question." 'What do you think will be the result of McKinley's attitude on the silver ques tion?" "I can not believe that McKinley said that," replied Senator Martin. "He is a politician and a good one at that, and it seems unreasonable to me that he should have made the reply attributed to him in response to the petition of the Southern delegation." THE JURY DISAGREES. It Couldn't Decide In the McGrath Lyttle Case. The jury in the damage suit of the minor children of Mrs. McGrath against William Lyttle, has" been discharged, having notified Judge Hazen of their inability to agree upon a verdict Several of the jurors favored a maxi mum verdict, $5,000, while at the last the jurors stood 10 to 2 in favor of a $3,000 verdict for Mrs. McGrath's chil dren.

There was a row in the Central barber shop in the basement at the southeast corner of Seventh street and Kansas ave, this afternoon, which resulted in the proprietor, John Putnam, discharging all of his colored barbers and putting white union men in their places. It appears that one of the colored barbers named Harrison Jones, was discharged from the membership of the Barbers', union at its last meeting for non-payment of dues. Secretary George Parlinger, of the union, went to the shop today to get Jones to turn over his membership card. It is reported that Jones struck Par linger in the face. At any rate Jones was discharged on the spot by the pro prietor, John Putnam, and shortly after the three other colored barbers, John Craig, George Gray and Bill Washington were also discharged for reasons personal to the proprietor. Several of the barbers are old-timers in Topeka, Gray especially so, having held a chair in the same shop for over ten years. W. M. Jones and J. S. Banks, two other colored employes of the shop, re signed last week in order to open up a new shop of their own.

Koo 111 5. Columbian Hulldinjr. Wheat opened strong with an advance of over from yesterday's closing and remained strong around the opeuiug prices until about li:30 when Pardridgo and his crowd appeared on the floor and hammered the market unmercifully, causing a decline of over a fall cent for the day and closing at the bottom. It seems that the Bull crowd have been whipped so much by Pardridgo and his followers that they are afraid of their own shadows and throw their wheat on the market regardless of price every time he is seen on the floor. Cables were all firm and higher, ex ports good, and Bradstreet's decrease of over two millions for both coasts was a Bullish faction, but everybody had some wheat for sale and these strong influ ences did not seem to add any strength. There is no rain as yet in the winter wheat belt and no prospects of any, and crop dam age reports are beginning to come in, showing serious damage by high winds and dry weather. This is a good break, and we think it will react quite sharply, as it was badly oversold today while everybody had the selling fever. Corn Opened strong at an advance of over c over night, but shared the weak ness iu wheat to a certain extent and showed a net loss of Jc over night, but there was a good cash demand on the decline and the closing was firm. If it should break any fur ther would not miss a good opportunity to own some May corn as it is good propertv and will be in demand until another crop is raised. Oats are firm, and will follow corn, sharing its fluctuations. Provisions opened very strong and 15c higher for pork, but the cash market weakened on account of large estimates of hogs for the week, and the selling fever in grain spread to the provision pit Armour will probably be on hand to morrow and buy everything in sight on any decline, as he has been doing for the past two weeks.

Ose more of the cuckoos has been provided for. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio has been given a place by the president as a reward for his subservient truckling to the master's will. The old adage that when thieves fall out honest men get their dues, is likely to fail in the case of the whisky trust from the fact that thera do not appear to be any honest men in it With free silver Republicans threat ening a bolt if their views are not adopted, and gold standard Republicans like McKinley making similar threats; with the Populists divided between their own party and the silverites, it looks as though the Democrats would present the only united front next year. There is no such thing aa dividing the Democrats. Democrats will vote for any candidate on any kind of a platform if only there are offices in sight. Thk Atlanta Constitution has had a cor respondent down at Thoma3ville during the McKinley visit and he relates that when the great protectionist's position on silver became known all negotiations looking toward giving him the support of the southern delegates were declared eft In connection with the subject, in a spirit of criticism, he quotes the finan cial plank of the Republican platform of 189'i lie neglects, however, to call at tention to the fact that the financial plank of the Democratic platform was almost identical with it They were so nearly alike, that even at this day, if the two were placed side by side not an average of one voter in ten can tell which one is the utterance of his party. M'KIXLEY'S POSITIOX. It is well that Governor McKinley has announced his position on the principal question of public interest thus early in the political game. From Thomasville, Ga., where he has been for some time surrounded by the men who are ex pected to be the chief backers of his can didacy he has permitted to go forth the declaration that If the Republican Na tional convention shall adopt a free sil ver plank he will leave the party. While by some this announcement may be construed Into an effort to dic tate to the party, by the friends and ad mirers of Governor McKinley, of whom there are many, it will be understood as a frank and honest expression of his position on the greatest of all public questions on which: the campaign of 1S96 will be fought out. Those who'support the governor's presidential aspirations from this time forward do so with their eyes open and with a thorough under standing of all his election would mean. In 1892 the people of the United States elevated to the presidency an open and avowed enemy of silver. The conse quences were too terrible and are now too apparent to be soon for gotten. Having seen the results of their folly many now claim that they dat Jan. 1391; Jan. 1S93 1 3.125 2 3.13", 6.330 3 3,135 6.550 4 5.350 6... 3,135 5.T5J 6 3.i35 5.800 7 3.135 6.100 8 3.185 9 3,350 7.100 10 3,230 7,550 11... 7,4'JO 12 3.410 8,'iOO 13 3,550 6,500 14 3.S05 6,500 15 3.810 10 3,790 6.800 17 3.S50 7.250 IS 7.850 19 4.160 6.700 20 4.330 7.000 21 4.400 6,500 22 4.430 2o 4.410 6.500 24 4,425 6.500 25 6.6U0 20 6.110 6.500 27 5.1S0 7.050 2S 4.910 6.000 29 4,700 30 4.775- 6,700 '41 4,625 6,600 Totals 106,285 172,100 did not know that was Mr. Cleveland's position. This excuse will not serve a second time and Governor McKinley does not mean that it should. He has thrown down the gage of battle to the free Bilver men and they will not be slow to take it up. It is the fight they have been looking for and the Republican policy on this question can now be fully settled before the campaign opens. There is no longer room for a straddle. Bince Governor McKinley has declar ed himself the open enemy of silver then he evidently means to go before the country as the representative of the gold standard. He is willing to put his own personality and the influence of the east against the wishes and interests of the south and west. Not even his tariff rec ord can help him. It will be an injury rather than an aid. The tariff issue is dead. It cann ot be resurrected. Even the east is begin ning to recognize this and the other fact that the next campaign must be waged on the currency issue. Henry Clews the great Wall street financier In his weekly financial review has this to say: "The tariff question, which two years ago was having a paralyzing effect upon industry has had its day. It. has been settled in a way less calculated to dis turb business than was at first feared; the manufacturing interests have al ready found ways for adapting their business to the new conditions, and it can hardly be said that the new state of affairs is really, upoa the whole, ob structive to the progress' of our indus trial interests. Thus, in the industries there is a vast gain upon the condition of distrust and paralysis that existed two years ago." Joseph Medill, upon whom McKinley is relying for his chief support in the west, is himself a tariff reformer and has already discovered that McKinley is not the author of the bill which bears his name after all. Both of these gentle men realize that the tariff will not be an issue and are ready to make the fight on the question of a gold monetary stand ard. The people of Kansas can now make an intelligent choice between McKinley and the gold standard and somebody else and bimetallism. There-must not be any compromise or dodging, else not only the cause of silver but the party is lost Republicans evaded the issue before and were defeated. They can't afford to do it again.

TO AID LITTLE WAIFS. How "Poor Children's Day" is Cel ebrated in Chicago. APPOINTED EACH YEAR BY THE MAYOR Taklas the Annual Bath A Memora ble Time of" easting and festivity Baees and Prizes. Poor Children's day is a Chicago in stitution. Although under the manage ment of the Chicago Waifs' mission, it has the honor of being appointed each year by a special proclamation from the mayor of tiie city. It is a great contrast to the Children's day more generally known about, for that comes on Sunday, is celebrated by most churches, and so reaches and delights all classes of chil dren. Poor Children's day is a secular affair and takes place on a weekday, and everybody who believes that clean liness is next to godliness, and that to reach a man you must first feed him and then preach to him, will approve of it. Poor Children's day is simply a great outdoor festival, prepared for by wash ing, barbering and clothing the chil dren a day or so beforehand. The following account of the celebra tion held a year or so ago, given in The American Youth, is the story of what takes place annually: "A certain Tuesday in July was washday for the waifs. It comes an nually, not once a week, and is an event toward which the ragamuffins look for months. The boys were dirty, filthy and vile. Some swore, many fought, and all, either for the novelty of the thing or sheer dirtiness, wanted to have a hand in the bath, an arm in a new coat or some hair off their head. Many of them looked as if they had missed entirely all the previous baths given by the Waifs' mission. A tent had beenpitohed early A POLICEMAN STOOD AT EACH SIDE. in the day, and as early came the droves of ragamuffins who sleep with the spar rows, stunted, dwarfed and decrepit lit tle chaps, whose keen eyes glowed in anticipation of the treat in store for them. It was the motliest assemblage ever congregated under the blue dome of heaven, and they were as inquisitive and just as numerous as ants. They peeked in the flaps of the tent and look ed at the 12 big tubs already filled with pure, sparkling water. Then they swarm ed over everything. The active warfare against dirt did not commence until near noon, but all the morning there was a string of boys anxious to have a hair cut. They bobbed in one door of the tent, and in about 80 seconds they were shot out the other as ba d as the day they were born. The three barbers shouted, "Next gent!" and the kids, with a grin like a man who had taken laughing gas, planked them selves in wooden chairs, and the opera tion commenced. It was not a fancy cut. It was simply a serviceable one. A few slashes from the back of the neck to the eyebrows, and the negro, Bohe mian or Arab came out sans hair. Then the real work commenced. Such dirty children 1 It did not seem possible that a human body would carry such ac cumulations of dirt as the dropping of a few rags exposed. Grime in concen trio rings, like the growth of trees, en veloped many of the applicants. Clean apparel was given to those who got through the finishing up process, and they were turned out clothed and in their right minds. The Thursday following this memo rable washday was the time of the an nual picnic. The organization of a cele bration like Poor Children's day entails much work and planning. There is nothing in "What's-his-name's Lightning Calculator" or "Ray's Third Part" that would shed any light upon the amount of food nec essary to expand the vests of 10,000 hungry youngsters, not one of whom had enjoyed a square meal since the time of the Mission Christmas feast, and one who ha3 never witnessed the storing of a waif's larder can never ar rive at an exact idea of the herculean proportions of the task. Superintendent Daniels of the Waifs' mission, when questioned as to the quantity required, said that his many years' experience of Poor Children's days had taught him that it took all he could get, and he in structed his coworkers to labor to that end. A few weeks before the picnic sev eral thousand strawboard boxes were manufactured and each box made to hold enough lunch for one half starved urchin. These boxes were nested in Bixes, incased in larger boxes and load ed qn express wagons. Each wagon was equipped with a driver and crew and allotted certain streets on which to work. A house to house canvass was made, and it was seldom that a family refused to fill at least one nest of boxes. Now, hydrant water may do to wash down an ordinary lunch, but it takes lemonade, with lemons in it, and sugar, to mellow up the picnio cake and pie. This requires innumerable empty bar rels, hundreds of tin cups, small moun tains of sugar and lemons, to say noth ing of the ice to cool the decoction. It takes one person several days to visit the ice cream establishments and see what they will do for the waifs. They generally respond liberally. Then there are ti samea and crizea to look arren M.

Several days' work is necessary along that line. Suitable grounds must be secured and booths erected. After the grounds are located the railroads have to be seen and the transportation arranged for. There must also be a place of meet ing arranged for down town, and there robust be marshals for the parade, and the bands must not be forgotten. Y'ou couldn't handle 6,000 or 10,000 street children without music, and it takes several large bands to furnish enough. What would a parade be without flags and banners I If the reader thinks that a waifs' picnio can be stirred up out of nothing, without any exertion, that reader should join the forces next year. It takes work, and it takes money. But to go back to that great July day. The parade came first, and after the parade there were races for big girls and races for little girls, races for big boys and races for little boys. Over 100 prizes were distributed. Then came the ban quet, boys and girls being served sepa rately. The objective point for the crowd was a slit in the wall of a rude board shanty, barely wide enough for a child to squeeze through. A policeman stood on either side of the slit passing the boya through. Near by were a dozen other police gesticulat ing and shouting in vain endeavor to induce the larger portion of the crowd to get in line. Finding they could do nothing in this way, they devoted their efforts to gathering up all the small and sickly looking youngsters they could see, picking them up bodily and planting them in the front of the line where they would have first chance at the lunch. Inside the shanty was a mountain of pasteboard boxes, around which were 50 women. It was quick work. The chil dren were hustled along so fast that be fore they could grasp the situation they would emerge from the other side of the shanty with a box of cold victuals and a dazed look. The waifs ate until they were tired. They ate until they were in misery. Aft er the feast they lined up for the lemon ade, which was issued in the same way as the lunches. Each child was given a huge tincupful of the nicest lemonade made out of sure enough lemons and real water. That ended the feast. Then came more fun. But as all days have an end Poor Children's day was no exception, and after 5 o'clock the chil dren were back in their old haunts again.

S031E LEADERS IX DRGsS GOODS FOR THIS WEEK. A Dream of Foor Children. X had a dream. So sad, so sad it was -It hurts my heart to tell that dream agam. I thought I stood above the life that draws Its weary breath in crowded street and lane, Above the rough, hot pavement and the glare From binding roof and wall and sun scorched air. I looked as might a spirit from on high, Not strong, but trembling, and I saw God. The children's poor sweet faces, bold or shy, All, all were piteous none seemed bright nor glad. I heard their songs and cries, their restless feet And their wild, longing hearts that beat and beat. Then, as a spirit might, I turned my eye Out to the broad blue waters of the bay. To all the widespread loveliness that lies Within the reaches of God's glorious day The hills, the fields, the streams that laugh and move And the kind, happy heaven that smiled above. I saw fresh daisies in the cool deep grass And bending boughs that shook their blos soms down. I watched the birds on sun swept pinions pass. And then I saw again the crowded town. The pale young children, where they waked and slept, Their eager, pleading faces, and I wept. And some dressed wan and faint for want of bread, And trembling some, with fear of curse or blow, And some at heavy tanks bent hand and head, Numb with the pain that hopeless toilers know, And some were girls, children no more O God, I dared not look to see the path they trod Near me white seraphs hung and mutely wept. And Christ, methought, wept, too. above it all, A broken prayer against my sobbing swept, And I awoke. 1 weep when I recall That dream, so sad, so strange!

By general usage and from its annual occurrence over so many years Anni versary day has grown to be a peculiar and a distinctive ceremony in Brooklyn. No other city in the length and breadth of the Union has anything like it. It commemorates the founding of the Brooklyn Sunday School union, which binds together all the evangelical churches of the town. What it has ac complished, save in the way of frater nalism and this annual showing, is not great, but Children's day alone is suf ficient to mark it as a success. A parade in which nearly 70,000 chil dren march is a picturesque sight. Each Sabbath school class has a banner of its own, a gayly colored piece of silk, with gilded letters. The big boys of the schools are pressed into this service, and they are only too glad of the burden. Streamers ending in tassels hang from these gay flags, and they are held by tiny girls. The color of the parade is in cheeks, banners, sashes and ribbons. There are miles and miles of white frocks. It is a day of white swiss, muslin and dimity. Hats are white too. If the May day is ideal in weather, the classes cf girls march along, hardly broken by pinks, blues or yellow. Be hind them the coming masculine genera tion look somber. But the girls are al ways in the great majority. Each class' teacher is at the side of her line, like a marshal or adjutant. It is only in para sols that the teachers attempt to outdo each other.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. 31 ARCH 26, 1895. THEY'LL BREAK AWAY Colored People Will Form an In dependent Political Party. WILL LEAYE ALL THE OLD PARTIES. Say They Will Beat a Few Men and IHakeParties KeipfttThemCamp ins on the White Han's Coat Tail." There la a movement on foot among the colored people to break away from parties and form an independent politi cal organization. The initial steps were taken at a colored mass meeting at the court house last night, which was at tended by about seventy-five colored men; Republicans, Democrats and Populists. The officers are to be elected at the next meeting, which will bo held next Friday evening, and the organization will thea be completed. The league does not intend to take a hand in the present city campaign, but expects to do something in the future. V. L. Efigleson called the meeting to order last night and made a speech which was frequently interrupted by applause. He said: "We got left last fall and we got left last spring. In fact, we always get left when it comes to the distribution of the offices which have any money in them. G. C. Clemens recently advised the laboriug men to organize outside of all parties, and if that plan is good for the white man why is it not good for the nesra 'So I think that we should organize an independent political league outside of all parties. We had two negroes on the ticket here and they were cut out be cause the offices had salary or fees at tached to them, but they did not forget the negro; Oh, no, they elected six negroes on the city central committee, positions that do not pay a dollar. Laughter. That is the way it always goes. The black man is camping on the white man's coat tails. "Let us organize and use our influence to beat a few men and then the parties will respect, us. We can beat a candid ate for the legislature in the city district and we can beat the representative on the north side. We can also name two or three white councilmea, and if we do this once or twice we will be respected." Wm. Brooks, of North Topeka, said that he would stand by the Republican ticket this spring, but he would make no promises for the future. g James H. Guy, the colored lawyer, said: ''I think that nothing can be more ad vantageous to the colored people, than an organization of this kind. We will never succeed to any extent until we do. This is the time to organize, not to talk." L W. B. Grant said that he did not belong to any party, and when he found a man prejudiced against his race he would not vote for him. Wm. Pope said the colored people were always left out. S. B. Hawkins said that the organiza tion was all right if it could be carried out, but he thought this the wrong time to organize. Andy Jordan said: "I endorse anything which will help the colored man. We have organized in the past and a candi date would come along and give the president $25 and he would sell out every colored man in the crowd. Head this thing with two or three jack leg preach ers and it is done for. Let us vote for whomever we please and let the parties RO. The meeting thee adjourned to meet in the colored Odd Fellows hall nex t Friday evening. SAH RADGES' HOBBY. Owns Sixteen Fair of Shoes and Only Wears the Same Palp Twice a Month. Co!. Sam Radges is the proud posses sor of sixteen pairs of shoes. The matter of footwear is a hobby of his, and he never wears the same shoes oftener than once in two weeks. His wardrobe looks like a shoe store, and he has some more coming. Mr. Radges makes no secret of his hobby, and he said today to a Journal reporter: -'Every man is en titled to his hobbies and if I choose to keep sixteen pair3 of shoes I guess I have a right to. It's all foolishness to buy a pair of shoes and wear them until they're worn out. It's economy to have Eeveral pairs, and after you've used them a day give them a rest and let them get some fresh air. I have my last in four Topeka Bhoe stores and I have all my shoes made to order. They are all about alike ex cept several pairs of low shoes for sum mer wear. Besides having my feet al ways well shod, it's a good plan from a hygienic standpoint. "I have the same notion regarding clothes. I never wear the same suit two days in succession. I haven't as many suits as I have shoes because I can't afford it, but I am thankful to have a wardrobe large enough so that I don't have to wear the same clothes more than once in five or six days. I claim that clothes and shoes are just like under wear. They need changing now and then." The humorous in advertising is illus trated by the pretensions of a New York Baking Powder to a World's Fair award. That powder failed to exhibit. The highest awards were conferred on Dr. Price's Baking Powder at the Chicago and Midwinter Fairs. MORRILL A CANDIDATE. His Application is on File For Admission to the feu Ananias Club. E. N. Morrill, governor of Kansas has been so long beseiged with office seekers, that many of them will no doubt be glad to learn that the governor him self is a candidate for place. The irov ernor's candidacy is for membershiplnto the celebrated St. Ananias club of To peka. The governor's application has been posted for several days and will be acted upon at its next monthly meeting. There are only two vacancies in the club and the governor will no doubt be elected to till one of them. At its last meeting the St Ananias club took Federal Judge C. G. Foster into membership. These two vacancies were caused by the removal of C. N. Beal and T. L Stringham from the city. The other vacancy is caused by the resig nation of one of the richest men in To peka, because the dues ($12 a year) were too exorbitant for these hard times. The candidates for the only remaining va cancy are H. G. Larimer and Ji A. Wagener.

THIRTY-T WO TRAMPS Arrested and Held on Account of the Fort Scott Jail Delivery. Into the highways and the byways and the lumber yards and the box cars went the police last night and brought forth thirty -two tramps of assorted sizes, colors and general cussedness. There was a jail delivery at Fort Scott the night before and Chief Wilkerson, energetic as usual, determined that none of the guilty should escape him if they came loafing around in his vicinity. The entire town was turned mpside down and shaken and every tramp and bum was arrested and taken to the police station to be held till the Fort (Scott authorities could come up and look them over. They were not tried this morning, and the jail was packed today. The men are nearly all white, and registered as fol lows: Dan Cullum, Frank Harris, Thos. Schmidt, J as. Martin, Charles Morris, John Van Hiss, Frank Rafferty, John Mace, Elmer Scott, P. Connor, August Berge, W.

Hayes, Alfred Miller, Fred Klnsey, Sam Selpencock, A. Burge, Wm. Hayes, Wm. Rathburn. and John NolL The entire crowd was turned out at ten o'clock when Chief Wilkerson satis fied himself that none of the jailbreakera were among them. ASK HELP FOR WALLER. Colored People Implore the Government to Work in His Behalf. At the colored mass meeting at the court house last night the following res olutions were adopted: Whereas, The newspapers contain the startling intelligence of the trial by drum- head court martial of our fellow citizen, John L. Waller, ex-United States coun sel at Tamative, Capital of the Island of Madagascar, now being invaded by the French, under the specious pretext that he I Waller,) sympathized with the gov ernment and people of that island in re sisting French aggression; and, Whereas, We have every reason to be lieve that said conviction of a civilian, by court martial, is contrary to all forms of judicature, especially for a unmilitary offense as alleged, having for its object the fraudulent acquisition of a valuable concession of land to said Waller by the government of Madagascar; and, Whereas, The attitude of the French toward the government and people of Baid island is wholly unjustifiable from any point of view, since the protectorate sought to be forced upon said people is not desired, and only one of many in stances of the tyranny of the strong over the weak; therefore be it Resolved, that we the colored citizens of Topeka, Kansas, in mass meeting as sembled, most respectfully appeal to the government of the United States to use every ligiltmate measure with the French government to release our fellow citizen John Waller, from the cupidity and tyranny of the agents of said French government, to thus wantonly oppress and rob a citizen of the United States, to which Waller under every circum stance as laid down by international law i3. entitled, to the end that the condition existing before his trial and conviction be re-established as regards his person and property, and for the success of such effort we will ever pray. G. C. CLEJ1ENS' NE W NOVEL. The Topeka Socialist Has a New One, Dealing With Colonial Days. G. C Clemen3 of Topeka is again in literature, and he has completed a new novel which will be printed in serial form, commencing with the next issue of the Topeka Advocate. Mr. Clemens' story is entitled, "Sidney Stone, the Anti-Federal." This title is "subject to amendment and debate," however, between now and the time of publication. The novel is a historical one and Mr. Clemens Bays of it, "The events of the story are laid during the period preced ing the adoption of the United States constitution. It has many side glances at the heroes we worship on July 4 and February 22. Tne book is aimed to im press not what histories tell, but the truths they don't tell." THE CHIEF DIDN'T LIKE IT Says People Complained of the Rain House and Then Would Not Testify. Chief of Police Wilkerson was very much put out because of the outcome of the arrest of Maude Rain for keeping a disorderly house on East Tenth street. "There were several complaints made to me before the arrests," he said today, "and they were made by men who went on the witness stand and swore yester day morning that they did not know anything about Mrs, Rain or her house. Although I had heard innumerable things about the place and some of the men who were on the stand yesterday told me that if I did not get the house cleared thay would have to move out of the neighborhood, there was not one bit of convicting testimony offered by any one yesterday." A day after the fair are the unsuccess ful rivals of Dr. Price's Baking Powder. In their efforts to belittle the World's fair award to Dr. Price's they excite amusement and do no harm.

THE 35 CRAP SHOOTERS WERS GONE. Bankruptcy Arrived Before the Po lice Who swooped Down on Empty Air. There was a big crap game Sunday afternoon at the north end of the Santa Fe bridge. The game was "big," not from, the amount of available change among the shooters, but by reason of the participants, as there were no less than twenty-five colored boys and ten white tramps in the game. The officers' of the law finally awoke to the fact of this open and notorious violation of the Cubbison law, and Undersheriff Tom Wilkerson with two deputies and half a dozen po licemen, made an effort to capture the crowd. But their efforts were unavailing. No general ever planned a battle more carefully than Wilkerson in his efforts to corral this crap game. Deep strategy was resorted to, and the lay of the land was taken into consideration. Fiually the undersheriff divided his force into four parts. He and Delaney Wilkerson made a long circuit down the river, so as to approach from the river along the bank. Officers Ewing and Pinkston came down the north bank of the river from Kansas avenue; Captain John Gardiner was stationed at the .south end of the Santa Fe bridge to shut off es cape from that direction, and the fourth squad was concealed be hind the junction depot. Promptly at the hour of 4:30 each of the squads be gan to move towards the focus where the common enemy was shooting craps or was shooting at last reports. Stealthily, like redskins on a trail, the officers moved. Their official hearts beat fast as they neared the scene of battle. They were determined to accept no terms but unconditional surrender. Finally the last friendly bluff that concealed them from the "game" was reached. The of ficers were preparing to advance with a war cry and swoop down on the crapiats. But horrorsl There was no game in sight. Not a tramp within a hundred miles so far as appearances went. Not a colored boy within hailing distance except a small one about the middle of the bridge. Narry a crap Not so much as a pair of dice left to repay them for their deep laid strategy and muddy endeavors. The officers looked at each other, made a few impressive remarks about the frailty of the best of terrestrial plans and wended their various ways back to civil ization. It seems that time had done what the officers failed to da The game broke up by reason of its own shortage. Had there been more money in the crowd the game would have lasted longer, but a north" side colored boy who flourishes under the name of Button Harper broke the bank. He won all the small change in the crowd, in all about $6, togetner with several knives and other available chat tels, and when he left nothing remained in the gang to play for. It takes time to map out a plan for capturing forty crap shooters, and by the time Mr. Wilker son's plans had been laid and put into operation, bankruptcy had overtaken the entire party and a motion to adjourn had carried unanimously. STOPPED TROLLEY CARS. An Oakland Boy Arrested for Creating a Dead Circuit." The Street Railway company instituted an interesting prosecution today. Pres ident C. C. Baker had a warrant issued for the arrest of Reese Van Sant, an Oak land young man, on the charge of in terrupting the traffic of the troiiey lines. It is charged that Van Sant in a mis chievous moment threw a wire across the overhead trolley wire in Oakland. The force of the shock knocked Van Sant down. The throwing of a wire across the overhead wires has the same result as the breaking of a wire, as it makes a "dead circuit" that stops not only the street railway traffic in Oakland but brought every car from Garfield park to Washburn college, and on all lines, to a standstilL The Street Railway com pany people say Van Sant had no excuse for throwing the wire across, and that be did so in a spirit of mischief. OLLIE TORBETT'S COMPANY It is Said to he a Good One and Will he Here Wednesday. Probably one of the most important of the musical events of the year for To peka. will be the concert given by the Torbett company at Hamilton hall next Wednesday evening. The success of Miss Ollie Torbett has been flattering as a violinist and she has surrounded her self with a company of unusual excel lence. Rudolf von Scarpa, pianist, and the Lutteman sextette are well known in both Europe and America. Topeka will hear them for the first time tomorrow night. The admission is fifty cents and the tickets are on sale at Kellam's. Only derision is excited by the claims of a New York Baking Powder Compa ny to a World's Fair award. Nobody got an award "over" it because it did not compete. But Dr. Price's received the highest award for purity, strength and wholesomeness. COMING AMUSEMENTS. Griffith's "Faust" At the Grand Wednes day and Thursday Others. Besides being a very good actor it is said of John Griffith that he is a fine looking man, and especially adapted in build and voice to the part of Mephisto. He will be at the Grand in that character Wednesday and Thursday nights of this It is said of the "Faust" Griffith is at the head of, that it is Euperior in point of scenio effects at least, to the ones that bear the name of Morrison. The stage is set for each scene with more elabora tion a'nd attention to detail, and is nearer historically correct. The Kansas City Times was lavish in its praise of Grif fith's Mephisto last week. "The Black Crook" and Charles Hoyt's "A Temperance Town" are expected at the Grand next week, but the exact dates have not been made public. Kleetra Tonisht.

A BIG HATCH. A XdM-ga Number of Small Cases on the Police Docket Today. It only rained tramps to the extent of thirty-two, but it poured culprits to the number of nearly twenty into the city jail last night and nearly all of them were tried this morning. Ellis Bangs who, it seems, has been running a little crap game on the side on East Third street, was among the victims, but his ease wili be heard tomorrow. EL C Brown, who had been intoxicated, ad mitted it and was fined $5. Andy Red mond and J. S. Campbell had been in the same fix and were fined the same amount.

Johnson will be tried tomorrow. Brigham Young .was out again last night and he and Nannie Vickery were arrested. No respect was shown Brigham on account of his name or religion and he wa3 fined $10. Mrs. Vickery will be tried tomorrow. i IL H.

Sensible folk laugh at the claims of a New York Baking Powder company to a World's fair award. They know it failed to exhibit or compete. The highest award went to Dr. Price's for purity, strength and wholesomeness. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. People are still praying for rain. George R. Peck is in Topeka today.

A Colored Man Who Could Play, "This Little Pie Went to Market." A colored man about 16 years of age giving his name as George Willis, was arrested by Under Sheriff Tom Wilker son yesterday on suspicion. The officers have reason to believe that he is a fugi tive from justice and think a publication of his description will facilitate his identification. The man is over six feet high and the most conspicuous thing about him is a scar on the left side of his face extend ing from his eye nearly to his chin. When arrested Willis wore a nice new pair of patent leather shoes, several sizes too small for him, which he had evidently stolen. To enable him to wear them he had cut off the tips, and his toes protruded at least two inches beyond the end of the sole, and played "this little pig went to market" with each other when he walk ed. The shoes were also liberally spliced along the sides so as to make them broad enough. They were still a trifle too snug about the instep and ankle. Willis is being held at the county jail on general principles. OLDEST OF THE FAMILY. Be Had Eighteen Brothers and Sisters Below 1 8 Tears of Age. Halifax, N. S., March 26.

Henry Harnden, the officer of the Union army who captured Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy, is in Chat tanooga today with the Wisconsin com mission to locate the positions of the troops of that state in the Chickamauga National Military park. "It is not true," said he, "that Presi dent Davis was in woman's attire when captured. It was a cold morning, about daybreak, when I arrested him, and he had a woman's shawl over his shoulders. The story about hoops is totally false." Then Gen. Harnden, who belonged to the Fir3t Wisconsin cavalry, told how he was given fifteen picked horsemen and given orders to capture Davis. They rode three nights and three day3 without rest. The capture was made near Irwinville, in Irwin county, Georgia. Just before the capture a body of Michigan cavalry on a similar expedition and Gen Harnden's men col lided. A fight ensued and two or three men on both sides were killed and' a number wounded before it was found out they were friends instead of enemies. "When I reached the Davis camp,"con tinued Gen. Harnden, "the first man I Bpoke to was the Texas gentleman, now Senator Reagan, who told me that he was the postmaster general of the con federate states. President Davis was near by on a log with a shawl, I presume his wife's, over his shoulders, as it was a cool morning." "How did the story get out that he had on a dress and hoop skirts?" asked the reporter. "When I went to Macon and reported to Gen. Wilson, my superior officer, he had the story telegraphed out as fast as I spoke, and the woman's shawl became exaggerated into female attire. "In the excitement he may have mis understood me, or the newspapers exag gerated it I have tried for years to cor rect the story but have been unable to do so, entirely. It is very hard for truth to overtake a lie. 1 "In grand army posts, when I attempt to explain it, I am hissed. If the writer of history gets it corrected for future generations, 1 shall feel better." FAITH DIDN'T SAVE HIM. A Man Dies While Under the Care of a Christian Scientist. Kansas City, March 26. Mrs. A. J. Baird, a well known Christian scientist, is under arrest on a charge of practicing medicine without a license. The atten tion of the authorities was directed to Mrs. Baird, it is said, bv the death of Harvey M. Bostworth, vice president of the JJeatham Manufacturing company, who died Saturday. For. six days prior to his death Mr. Bostworth had been under the care of Christian scientists. The day he died two physicians. Dr. C F. Wainwright ana Ur, J. Jr. Jacason, were called in. They were called too late, for Mr. Bost worth was unconscious and dying when tney arrived. When the certificate of death was pre sented to the two physicians to sign, they refused to do so because the dead man had never been under the care of a reg ular physician. Coroner Bedford was called in and investigated the death of Mr. Bostworth and found that he died of diabetic coma. The coroner signed the aeatn certmcate. Mrs. Baird gave bond for her appear ance before Police Judge Jones this afternoon. Only a Hniall Affair. Madrid, March 26.

Absence of Fire I tbe reateat Crit icismThe Performance to be Given Again Tonight. If a large and attentive audience is any sign of appreciation, the students in the Greek and music departments at Washburn college, should feel satisfied today. The audience that saw them pro duce Sophocle's tragedy, "Electra" at the college chapel lait night, filled the room to the very stairs in the hall outside. The chapel must seat at least 900 persons, and if it does there were at least 1,200 at tire performance last night, and they were quite well behaved considering it was an amateur production. That the" partici pants are not satisfied is proved by the announcement that the piece will be re peated tonight From the beginning of, the stirring overture, as Miss Mabel Martin played it, to the closing of the curtain on the last scene of joy at the death of Aegis thos, the piece was very well done. There was no change of scene during the entire performance. The stage was handsomely set, showing the exterior of the palace and the tiled court, pillars and all, with trees on each side growing bravely up out of the marble. The audience sat uncomplainingly in the, middle of the raging Agra and would, doubtless, have been wet to the skin but for the saving dryness of the play itself. The chorus was first disclosed to the naked eye of the audience and it cer tainly looked smooth, not to say slick, which is easily understood when you re member that the scene was laid in Greece. Considering that the actors were all amateurs and very ignorant of stage re quirements the acting in the piece was well nerformed. There was hardly fire Greek fire, one raitrht say enough about the more emotional scenes and some of them suffered greatly from its absence. Miss Mary Moon, about whose part, Electra, the entire story revolves showed in her work a most surprising dramatic instinct, but in many of her most intense scenes she was really weak. Though by far the majority of her scenes were very well done she was altogether too passive, for instance in her quarrel with Glyteai nestra, her argument with her sister after her brother's supposed death and when she discovers that her brother is alive. The last one is much the most difficult for the reason that it is highly sentimental and very easily overdone. Miss Moon has a good voice, though she should uae it more. She uses the same tone and vol ume through the entire play. Miss JN ye is unfortunate in her voice, but with a few exceptions her actiug was good. She turned clear around once to sit down on her throne, with her back to the audience. Her entrance was much better last night than at the re hearsal. The Orestes of Dana McVicar was good enough in the first act, but in his ater scenes he was too intensely dra matic in the wrong direction, and not enough in the right one. With his clenched hand and his parted lips in the meeting scene, he looked more as thougn he would crush Electra on the spot than take her to his arms as a brother should. Although it wa3 a small part and harder because it required careful act ing with almost no lines at all, the Pylades of Maurice Gould was excel lently done. There is very little room for criticism in the work of Prof. Palmer as Paeda gogos. He looked tha part, with his long haic and beard and staff, and said the lines moat conscientiously. The Aegisthos of Prof. Ellis was good also, though he forgot his crown and looked more like Robinson Crusoe with his immense wig. Miss Rodaers' Chrysothemis was prettily done throughout Misses Maggie Axtel and Margaret Dudley as the two ladies of Mycenae were up to their requirementa The supernumeraries were as follows: Queen's Maids Kate Lux, May Nelson. Attendants of Chrysothemis Susie Guild. Bertha White. Boys, servants of Orestes Master Walter Lux, Master Floyd Brockett. Chorus Citizens of Mycenae Misses Elsie Davis. Ida Behan, Blanche Bartley, Emily Bis sell, Mary Steinfort. Katiiaryn Arnold, Lizzie Pond, Laura Weidliut;, Ma'ry Harrison, and Messrs. Kent O. Browu. FranK P. Strong. Paul Lovewell, Edward S. Martin, Ward W. Silver. Miss Emma Denison was the soloist and sang welL There is one great criticism to offer about the portrayal of the piece and tnat is the lack of voice. With the exception of Prof. Palmer the enunciation of every person in the cast was indistinct The very complete programme is the only thing the audience lias to thank for a thorough understanding of the play. The piece will be repeated tonight and it will, doubtless, be much better. ANNA DICKINSON IN COURT. She Asks Damages for Being Fat In an Insane Asylum. Scrantojt, Pa., March 26. Anna Dick inson, the widely known writer and lec turer, was in the witness stand for three hours in the United States district court here yesterday. The case was that in which she brought suit to recover $120, 000 damages from James Courtwright, George B. Thompson, George Under wood and H. L Bryden of Pittston, and Dr. James Oglesby of Danville, on the charge that her commitment to the Dan ville insane asylum in 1891 was the re sult of a conspiracy. She was kept there for five weeks. Her attorneys are Judge Daly of New York and A S. McLean of Wilkesbarre. Miss Dickinson wore a travelling cloak, which she refused to remove, and told her story in a most dramatic way, at times rising to her feet excitedly, and once springing from the witness box. She will be cross-examined tomorrow. LOUISTILLE HOSPITALITY. The Public School Buildings Will Be Turned Over to the G. A. R. Lo0isvilxe, Ky., March 26. The Lou isville school board by a vote of eleven to two last night granted the use of about forty public school buildings for the G. A R. encampment next Septem ber. The buildings will be controlled by the local committee on accommodations, and will be available from the seventh to the sixteenth of September. FOE LITTLE FOLKS. SHE'S THE SMALLEST. The Chubby Little Sprite Who Lives In Frisco and Rides a Wheel. Out in Sau Francisco there may be seen any bright day a tiny figure on a tiny bicycle, scurrying along the road ways of the park of that city. This ia little Laurine Devany, who is the small- est bicyclist in the world. She is only 3 years old, a dear little girl, with fluffy yellow hair and big blue eyes. She rides a wheel that had to be made especially for her, of course, and it weighs only 12 pounds. The picture of her which is given here shows what a chubby little sprite she is in her blouse and bloomers. Those who have seen her ride eay it is something to remember, as those twin kling legs churn the pedals and the bright curls toss back from beneath the Tarn o' Shanter as she races before the wind. A Very Peculiar Kite. A balloon maker who uses kites in ex perimenting has made a kite which, up on being tossed into the air, will scud away exactly like a bird. It will fall ii a string is attached to it. Anybody can make this kite if he will bear in mind the appearance of a bird in the air. It consists of a winglike main part and a paddlelike tail. It may be of any size. The wings should be like two right angled triangles, connected at the base, only the paper must be curved outward beyond the hypotenuse, much the same as a bird's wing is curved. About half the length of one wing from this main portion a light, flexible piece of wood should hold the tail a paper paddle of the area of one of the wings. Make each wing with a little convex ity from the under side and don't at tempt to fly it with a string. Tie a string to the leg of a frightened bird. Ib will fly to the end of it, flutter a mo ment and fall to the ground. This kite will do the same. A bird cannot fly backward. Neither can this type of kite. It will go with the-wind, and for the same reason thai; a bird goes forward. The tendency of the breeze, which-, will first strike the tail, will be to throw the kite down, but as the tail goes down it elevates the wing portion. The in stant the wings begin to rise to a per pendicular position to the wind current it presents a broader surface to the breeze and is of course pushed onward. By this undulatory, snakelike wavering it scuds onward and upward. This move ment, may be seen in any fluttering flag on a breezy day. Indeed this discovery was made by observing the undulatory motion of a flag on a mast. New York Journal. About Mexican Babies. The Mexican babies learn to tell their beads long before they know tho names of the many brilliant flowers that tangle about their brown feet. But whether the spiritual or the physical father of the household starts the morn ing hymn, all the household catch it up, and tbAB wife, the grown children, the half grown children, the toddling babies and last, but not even in Mexico least, the servants catch the sweetly worded, but simple melodied song, and out beyond the cabina, the adobe hut, or in the richly carved palace tbe hew ers of Mexican wood, the drawers of Mexican water, the tenders of Mexican grains and of Mexican flowers join in the morning chorus. But sweetest of all those sweet Mexican notes ring the treble notes of the Mexican baby voice. The children of Mexico are born, live and develop under grave disadvantages, but nature, even in Mexico, is the just est of stepmothers, and nature compen sates the children of Mexico for some at least of the disadvantages with which she scourges them. I do not know how a child can better start the big morn ings of his little life than by singing with his father, his mother and all the other people of the homestead a song of simple welcome to the morning. Teaching Latin In College at Thirteen. Professor Evaun of Albion college fell and broke a rib and is unable to at tend classes. The professor has a son of 13 summers who is taking work in the preparatory school. When the Ovid class met yesterday, this rosy cheeked lad, who is small for his age, stepped upon the rostrum, took the professor's chair and proceeded to call the roll with the deliberate composure of a veteran. When he had finished, he quietly re marked that his father was unable to be present and had requested him to take charge. He asked full explanations of the most knotty constructions, which one or two upper classmen were unablo to give, whereupon, much to their em barrassment, they were set right by the 13 -year-old professor.

MARY THORNYCROFT. olis, she married Mr. Thornycroft and went with her husband to Rome, where her earnestly enthusiastic nature was more than gratified With the splendid ideals of ancient art. There also she met with Thorwaldsen and Gibson, who were struck with admiration at the tal ent her work exhibited. Subsequently Gibson, when asked by the queen to model some of the royal children, re sponded by recommending Mrs. Thorny croft as being even better able to do justice to the task than himself. This led to a series of commissions from her majesty and the prince con sort, the results of which are to be 6een at Windsor, Osborne and Buckingham palace. It ia scarcely necessary to enu merate more than a few of Mrs. Thorny croft's very numerous works. In 1847 she had in the Royal academy a marble bust of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales. In 1852 she exhibited likenesses of the Hon. Miss Stanhope and Lord Clan maurice, and in the next year of her majesty the queen and of H. R. H. the Duchess of Gloucester, then in her seventy-seventh year, and in 1855 of Viscount Petersham. Mrs. Thornycroft's two sons, John Isaac Thornycroft and Hamo W. Thornycroft, R. A., are distinguished in their vocations. The former is known throughout Europe as a highly scientific constructor of torpodo boats, while as to the latter he is our great sculptor, and we will undertake to say there is not an artist among us who is not proud of him. And in order that the artistic faculty may not be wholly limited to the male sex at least one of the daugh ters, Miss Helen Thornycroft, who haa just been elected vice' president of tho Society of Lady Artists, has long been in the first rank both as a flower and landscape painter. London Queen. Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins. Few American women have found ia foreign lands the spontaneous recogni tion of their abilities accorded to Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins of New York. She has been recognized at home as the one of their sex to whom women of intellect and industry owe more than to any oth er. It need hardly be said that this lady is the founder of the New York School of Applied Design For Women, tbe school for which there had been such great need that it was self supporting from the opening day; the school where women learn to become painters, archi tects, designers, illustrators; where girls are transformed from creatures of impulse to women of high purpose and achievement. Mrs. Hopkins has left the country for awhile. She sailed on Dec. 5. The news of the glorious success of the school which she inspired and founded spread to other lands, and the English people begged that we spare herfor a time that their girls might be taught applied art as our young women are taught applied art. The Princess Christian, second daughter of Queen Victoria, herself pleaded that Mrs. Hopkins come to them. France, Germany and Canada have entreated, that Mrs. Hopkins teach to them the new gospel in art, the union of the ideal and the practical. In time she may go to them. England has her now. Mrs. Hopkins was born in New York city,' educated abroad. She has never known money limitation. For years she was regarded as one of the most beauti ful, intellectual, brilliant women of New York society. But there came a time when her interests broadened so that the life of a society woman was insufficient. For a long period she was ilL During her illness the school was planned. With the recovery of her health -the school became a reality. There are those who' say that it is the extreme of folly for a beautiful, highborn woman to spend eight hours a day in a school with young ladies who are not rich and are without ancestors of nota But the matter of money and ancestors J!3Bilj id ffl I Mi-.

San Francisco Chronicle. Irish Point Lace. A woman who does not love lace is the sort cf freak that ha3 never yet been found, at.d her admiration of it cannot be called a fad, for it is too persistent and varies ouly in its degree of enthu siasm over the finer and heavier W9aves in proportion to its suitability for the purpose she has in mind. There is just now a revival of the Irish point lace that bids fair to become a veritable craze before summer. Every body is trying to learn how to make it, Kiuce the hand made product sells fabu lously high in the shops and its pur chase is limited to the rich. Narrow, looped edged braid conies by the piece for the purpose( ranging from 25 cents to 1.50 per dozen yards, and with an outline pattern, a spool of linen thread and t needle intricate and beautiful work is done that rivals the weblike lace of the old world workers. As the latest luxury in lace demanded by fashion is an elaborate collar of van dyke points, with a smaller set for the sleeves, the clever amateur lacemaker is trying her utmost skill upon these and with such success that one of them was recently offered a large sum of money for such a set by a leading mer chant who saw it. These points are very handsome on fancy silk waists and are extremely ef fective on small boys' suits a la Faunt leroy. A great deal of it is being made to trim sheer India muslin3 for the com ing summer, and the fine kind makes handsome ends for soft mull ties. An exquisite center for the table is made of linen a quarter of a yard square, and around this a border of the Irish point of the heavier braid, made all in one piece without any trimmings at the corners. This, with smaller squares set under tho caraffes and bon bon dishes, gives a lovely effect when used on a polished mahogany table, the red wood 6hining under the lace. New York Herald. The Fashionable Wrap. T7hen Dame Fashion announced that very large hats aud full sleeves would be worn, it was a foregone conclusion that capes would remain in favor, writes Isabel A. Mallonin an exquisite ly illustrated article on "The Early Spring Wraps" in The- Ladies' Home Journal. All women who have expe rienced the difficulty of getting a full bodice sleeve into even a full coat sleeve will be glad to hear that the vogue this spring is given to the cape, which is so easy of assumption and so many in ita styles. Sometimes it is nothing more than a full collar Teaching to the shoul ders, while again it comes to the waist or below it. Velvet alone, velvet and cloth, cloth and satin or crepon are the materials favored for the spring capes. Trimmings are almost invariably beads, ribbons or laces. The average woman is apt to think that jet trim mings are expensive. Of course this is so if they are purchased with the heavi ly cut pendants or elaborate spangles at tached to them. But if a simple trim ming is bought, and one is industrious enough to sew morebeadB on it to span gle ,it heavily and to form out of single beads the pendants, a rich trimming may be obtained at the expense of a lit tle time, a little money and a little pa tience. The Vanishing Workbasket. The plaint for the vanishing work basket has come. Somebody has discov ered that the new woman does not use it and sighs for the grace and woman liness that must go with it. Why must these attributes go with it? In ftlden days men embroidered as well as wom en, but they have long laid by the nee dle. Times change, and with the times change the practices and customs of the people as well as their implements. Sewing machines' made the first stab at the workbasket, and the widening of the list of wuiii a occupations has dor.i the rest. At the women's exchange, stockings are darned, napkins are hem med, trousers are patched for a trifle. The woman who is writing or using her other than sevyiy talents in any way finds it useful economy to have even the most prosaic and simple of her house hold sewing done outside, and the work basket exists for her only to draw the stitch of a glove or sow on a button. Womanly graces never depended on tho workbasket, though they were associ ated with it. They are changing their background perhaps in these days. They are not going out of fashion. New York Times. The Spinner Memorial. Tho Spinner Memorial association will soon have ready for unveiling the bronze statue of General Francis E. Spinner to stand in the national capital. The story caunott be too often told:- "In the year 1862 General Spinner brought about the appointment of seven women as clerks in the treasury department of the United States, and so much did the opening of those doors benefit woman in giving her au opportunity of securing an independent livelihood" that in 1875 300 women were employed in that de partment of the government, aud at the present time the names of 1,770 women, residents of Washington city, are borne upon its pay rolls, while in different departments of government they num ber over 7,000." Washington Letter. Widows of 'Revolutionary War. On June 30, 1894, the date of the last report of tho commissioner of pensions, there were still nine living widows of soldiers of the American Revolution on the rolls. The names of these relict3 of the soldiers of the great war of inda pendeuce, together with their age3 and postofiice addresses, are given below: Mary Brown, 89, Knoxville, Tenn.; Nancy Cloud, 81, Chum, Va. Esther Damon, 80, Plymouth, Vt. Nar.cy Jones, 80, Jonesboro, Tenn. Rebecca Mayo, 81, Newbern, Va. Patty Rich irdson, 93, East Bethel, Vt. Sena Tur ner, 85, Manchester, N. Y. Mary Suead, 78, Parksley, Va. Nancy Weatherman, 84, Liueback, Tenn. St. Louis Republic. Belgium's Queen. The queen of Belgium is still suffer ing severely from tha recent disagree able mishap. While visiting the royal stables, according to her frequont cus tom, and in the act of offering one of her favorite horses a lump of sugar, the animal bit her savagely in the hand and arm. The attack was so unexpected and tbe shock so great that the queen faint ed. Though inflammation set in and tbe wounds were serious for a time, they have now healed, leaving, however, the nervous system of the royal lady con siderably shattered. A New Wrinkle In Tea. A new wrinkle for the tea table is to take a small portion of strong tea, enough for brewing a cup, and do it up in a lit tle circular piece of sheerest white or gandie, tying it tight and pinking the edges and then fluffing them out to con ceal tbe fastening. One of these is drop ped into each teacup and the boiling water poured over it. The effect is ex tremely dainty as well as palatable, and the tea is brewed with more ease than I is possible when the tea ball is brought into play and can be served Hotter. Exchange. A Dress Hint. II your Bireeb g1-'" ouu w a bijus ui wear at the bottom or has shortened, as some woolen gowna will do, get some bercules braid and put a band smoothly around the foot of the gown, letting it come down below the material so as to lengthen the skirt. Hold it a little full when putting it on, so that it will not draw. It is quite fashionable and cer tainly is economical. If you like, you can lengthen the 6kirt with something I and set the braid over that, but tbe other answers quite as well, and it ia less txou bla.

Topfka?Ka$f JUDES LIGHT, The following singular and almost in credible narrative Is vouched for as being truthful by several citizens of Atlanta, Mr. E. Mize among others, and by numer ous residents of DeKalb, in which county and but a few miles from Atlanta the lo cus In quo of the remarkable manifesta tion described below is situated. No attempt is made to account for the phenomenon on either natural or super natural grounds. "I live," said the farmer as he slowly cut a huge hunk of tobacco from his plug, "about a mile from a place which, in times before the war, was known as the Burt place, because a family by that name bad first cleared the land and built the bouse on It. I was a boy then a very small boy but I remember well the elder Burt. He was a stern, dark man with a most violent and vlndictKe temper. I re member one Sunday at meeting when he nearly wore out a big black snake whip on one of hia mules. His family were all afraid of him, and his neighbors avoided him when he got into one of hie fits of passion. And yet, outside of this, he was a good citizen, a good father, a devoted husband and noted for his open handed liberality. It was his fiendish temper wbloh ruined his whole life. In olden times I reckon they would have said that he was possessed of a devil, and he was a devil of a temper. "Well," resumed the farmer aftera mo ment's rumination, "the Burts owned several niggers, and among them was a likely, lively gal named Jude, who was a kind of house servant and maid to Mrs. Burt. Perhaps it was the consciousness of her superiority to the regular lleld hands, perhaps sympathy with her mis tress, who usually received the full force of Burt's wrath when one of his spells overtook him, but whatever the cause may have beep the effect was that Jude gave her master some impudence and earned his dislike. From that on whenever he dew into a rage Jude came in for a large share of the storm and was frequent ly threatened with a severe whipping. 'I'll thrash the life out of you,' Burt Is reported to have said to her one day. 'Ef ye do, I'll h'ant ye, sho's my name's Jude!' the impolitic reply is said to have been. Burt flew into a paroxysm of rage, in sane in its violence. He bad the unhappy girl strung up and himself beat her until bis strength was exhausted, and he was a man of powerful frame. When she was taken down, Jude was eenselees. She was put in an empty corncrib and given no food. In a day or two she died, probaoly from the effects of the beating, maybe from the want of attention and food, per haps from both causes. Well, now comes the singular part of this business. Jude was buried in a little clump of pines just across a creek which ran in front of the Burt mansion, about 800 or more yards distant J ude had said that if Burt exe cuted his threat she would 'ha'nt' him. She kept her promise. Oh, you needn't laugh. I don't attempt to account for it, but it's a fact, and there are 00 people in my county who. will tell you the same thing. It wasn't a month after Jude had been buried before rumors began to circu late about a wonderful ball of fire that ap peared at night at the Burt place. Inves tigation followed. Then the truth came out, and the community were almost ready to lynch Burt. I believe legal proceedings were taken. At any rate, he changed so that no one would have known him. He grew thin, pale, with a terror stricken look always on his face. One day he suddenly packed up, sold his place, and with his family went somewhere in South Carolina. But the wonderful light did not cease when the Burts left. It is seen even now, and although all trace of Jude's grave has long since vanished the light serves to show the exact spot in which she had been burled." "How is that?" "Well, the light, which Is a ball of pale red fire about the size of acocoanut, moves along about five feet above the ground and never falters or hesitates." "Maybe it's a marsh light?" "Marsh lights don't sail along in the teeth of high winds and stand still in particular places. No, it's no marsh light, whatever it is. The people who lived there some years ago in 1883, I think a most respectable family, were not a bit afraid of the light and used to watch for its appearance. They were all asleep one night after they had just moved there, when they were awakened by a peculiar sensation. Looking out into the yard, they saw this ball of light shedding a pale glow around and perfectly stationary. The head of the house went out to investigate! when the light moved slowly away to ward the grave. It led him across the creek up to the hill to the clump of plnea and disappeared in the spot where J ude was buried. It has often appeared since, and there are people who come from all parts to see it. Scientific men have seen it and gone away puzzled. What do I think it is? Well, I think it's nothing more nor less than J udu's light. That's all anybody has ever made of it. But it's a fact all the same. Well, good day." At lanta Constitution. Treed by m Herd of Cattle. "A very funny experience happened to me while working up in Montana," said George Martin. "At the time of which 1 speak I was repairing telegraph lines and was frequently sent to an isolated region where some trouble had occurred to the wire. One morning 1 received orders to locate a break some 50 miles away. Board ing a freight, I arrived at the place in question about 2 o'clock that afternoon and soon had the break located and re paired. "It being a fine afternoon I started to walk back, instead of waiting for the freight, which would pass in about three hours. I continued to walk along, enjoy ing the exercise and completely absorbed in pleasant thoughts, when all at once I heard a roaring behind me which sounded like thunder. Imagine my astonishment when, turning around, I saw a herd of cattle making straight for me. Without wasting much time I took to my heels, and reaching the nearest telegraph pole I quickly ascended and was soon out of im mediate danger. In another minute the entire herd completely surrounded me, an grily pawing the ground. I was held a captive for over two hours. Soon the whistle of the freight was heard, and upon its approach the herd became frightened, and following its leader ran off. I at once descended from "my uncomfortable posi tion, flagged the train and was soon relat ing my experience to the crew. I was aft erward told that the cattle will never at tack a man while mounted, but the un usual sight of a man walking quietly along will startle them, and their inquisi tiveness very frequently leads to disas trous results. "Cincinnati Tribune. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. A Point from Which Seven States May Be Viewed. One of th most remarkable curios in. Uncle Sam's cabinet is Lookout moun tain," at Chattanooga, Tenn. The trav eler expects such, occasional combina tions of mountain and plain on the edges of the Rockies, the Selklrks and other great mountain chains, and yet it is doubtful whether any other as beau tiful is to be found. For it has seldom happened that a tall mountain rises abruptly to interrupt and dominate a view so majestic and of such varied features. Glistening" water, smiling1 farm land, forest, city, hill and island all lie upon the g-org-eous and g-igantio canvas of the Master Painter, who invites mankind to His studio to enjoy such views as we had fancied only the 6tupid denizens of the air are priv ileged to dully scan. To surfeit one's self with the won drous changing-, widening- beauty of that splendid scene one does not have to consider the martial records that brave men wrote with their blood all over the foreground of the prospect. But when it happens that the specta tor is an American whose soul has been stirred by the poor printed an nals of Chickamaug-a and Mission Ridge, the feast spread before Look out mountain ministers to the understanding- the while it ravishes the eye. In nothing- is this wonder-spot more wonderful than in its accessibility. It is even more convenient to the tourist than Niagara falls almost the solitary great natural curiosity in our country for which one does not have to travel far and labor hard. In this case the grand view is one of the sights of Chat tanooga, "the little Pittsburg" of the south. The city enjoys it as a house holder does his garden, as it vtere, for the historic mountain is at the end of a five-cent trolley line. During- half the year the tourist is even better served, for the railroads haul the "sleepers" up the mountain-side in summer, and dis charge the passengers on the very edge that divides terra fir in a and eagle's vision. Guided by Mr. Milton D. Ochs, of the Chattanoog-a Times, who could have offered a very wonder ful view of his own from the towering pile in which that newspaper is housed, I took the trolley line during what the southern folks are pleased to call winter-time. The way led to just such a looking railway as one finds at Niagara falls going down to the water's edge, though this one darts up the two-thousand-foot high mountain side, and is famed among professional en gineers as a remarkable creation. It was planned and built by W. R. King, U. S. A. It is four thousand five hun dred feet in length, with an elevation of one thousand four hundred feet, and a grade of nearly one foot in three at the steepest place. The terminus is the Lookout Point hotel, which appears to stand upon a bowlder suspended over the remainder of creation, as if a mountain rising out of a plain had thrust out a finger and men had put up a building- on the finger-nail. The biblical word-picture which tells of our Saviour being taken up on a high mountain and shown the kingdoms of the earth conveys the idea that the view from this point suggests. One can but have an idea of it, and it can only be expressed or described with a figure of speech. To be told that it commands five hundred miles of the earth's surface, and that the most dis tant objects are parts of seven different states, is too much for the mind to master. What the eye takes in is a checker-board made up of farms, roads, villages, woods, ridges and mountain ranges, all in miniature. The Tennes see river gladdens the scene. Though it is one thousand four hundred feet wide, it looks like a ribbon, and, like a ribbon thrown care lessly from the mountain-top, it lies in many curves and convolutions, a dull green band everywhere fringed with a thin line of trees that wall in the farmers' fields. You may count ten of its curves, and three of them, immediately below the mountain, form the exact shape of an Indian moccasin, around the toe of which a toy freight train crawls lazily with a muffled gasp ing out of all proportion to its size. A brown and white mound of smoke and steam beyond the nearest farms is pointed out as Chattanooga, and a roll ing wooded region on the right is spoken of as the bloodiest field of the rebellion fearful Chickamauga. The low dark green mound in the immedi ate foreground is Mission Ridge, and between that and the curtain of smoke that hides the busy city a tiny bit of yellow road is seen to disappear at a microscopic white gate, which is the portal of a cemetery wherein thirteen full regiments of northern heroes lie the blue who have turned t gry in the long embrace of death five thou sand of them not remembered by name. Julian Ralph, in Harper's Magazine. He Emw the atxie. "So you were playing- cards for money?" said the magistrate, severely. "No, sir; we were playing for chips." "Well, sir, it's the same thing. You got your chips cashed for money at the end of the game?" "No, sir." "No! How's that?" "At the end of the game I didn't have any chips, your honor. "You're discharged," said the judge; and he snapped it out so quickly that the sheriff turned pale. Washington Post. Novel Fish Platen.

Senator Rogers Declares Charges Against Him Are That Nature.' HE WILL FIGHT THEM TO THE END. He Blames the Starting of the Story of Betas Drunk on Attorney General Dawes Whom He Asked Question. About Law. State Senator William Rogers is Here today and he says he proposes to fight to a finish the charges ma de against him by Cy Leland, which have been filed with Governor Morrill. Senator Rogers says Cy Leland's statement that they have not had a con versation this year is true, but he says it is also true that the charges were filed against him as revenge for his having defeated the efforts to place the big appropriations for new state build ings in the hands of the board of public works. Senator Rogers says he worked in har -mony with the suggestions made by Governor Morrill in his message when he refused to perpetuate the board of public works by placing the big appro priations at its disposal. Governor Morrill recommended that the public works board be abolished and when that could not be done Senator Rogers secured the united support of the senate to place the appropriations at the disposal of other board. After the senate had lined up in sup port of this action Governor Morrill re quested Senator Rogers to recede from the position he had taken but it was then too late and the first plans were carried out much to the disgust of the politicians who were looking after the board of public works. Senator Rogers declares that he took liquor as a medicine on the advice of his physician, during the legislature, but he denies that he was at any time so much under the influence of liquor that he was unable to perform his duties and the friends of the state house appropriation committee, who wore with Senator Rogers most of the time during the last three weeks of the session, say that the chargei of drunkenness are false. In reference to the charge that he was drunk and used profane and indecent language in the presence of ladies at the Chesterfield hotel on March 10, Senator Rogers says: "That is one of. Dawes' stories. Dawes had said, or at least I heard that he had said, that I was the fellow he was laying for. We happened to be at the same table at dinner that day, and I had a good deal of fun asking Dawes questions of law. He got mad and refused to answer them, but I did not stop asking him questions. I was sober as any man, but 1 must confess that I did talk rather loud as I usually do, and I don't wonder that Dawes was worried." PENITENTIARY COMMITTEE MEETS Preliminary Arrangements to be Made and Officer selected. The legislative committee which waa recently appointed to. investigate the charges against AVarden Chase of the penitentiary is holding a meeting iu To peka this afternoon. The committee will, before it adjourns, select its ser geant at arms and arrange for beginning the investigation. T. IL Black the big man who used to work in the peniten tiary mines is backed by tha governor and Cy Leland for sergeant-at-arms for the reason, it ia said, that he acted as a body guard to Cyrus Corning during the last campaign. Cnairmau Leland says Cy Corning al ways felt safe when Black was sent out with him to hold a meeting. Black will be one of the most important witnesses against Chase although he did not swear to the charges which were filed with the governor. There are several other can didates for sergeant-at-arms and it may be that Black won't get the job. The members of this committee are Senators Parker and Taylor and Repre sentatives Caldwell of Douglas, Bone of Clark and Wilsou of Barber. YOBNtl REPUBLICANS GET IN. II. hi. Pnlton anil Ross Gilluly Given Places by Railroad Commissioner. Two young Republicans were provided with jobs in the state house this morn ing when the state board of railroad com missioners elected a clerk and steno grapher. li. M. Fulton, a son or councilman Fulton, who waa employed by the state central committee during the last two campaigns, was elected clerk at a salary of $1,000 a year, and Ross B. Gilluly of Oakaloosa was given the position of stenographer at 800 a year. Mr. Gilluly was clerk for the central committee dur ing the last campaign. The railroad commissioners have not heretofore had a stenographer but the laat legislature included in the executive appropriation bill an item covering the salary for a stenographer for this board. These new employes will take their positions April 1 when J. M. Senter,'the clerk of the old board, will retire. Both Mr. Fulton and Mr. Gilluly have beeu employed aa extra clerks in the governor's office most of the time since the advent of the administration. ABOUT TUB CAPITOL. News of Persons and Things in the State Departments. G E. Moore, of Cherryvale, who was clerk of the house committee on educa tion during the session of the legislature, is in the city. The executive committee of tha coun ty superintendents' association, is hold ing a meeting at Abilene today, for the purpose of preparing the programme tor the annual meeting, which is to be held at Abilene in May. Guy P. Ben toD, assistant state superintendent, at tended the meeting. Colonel Henry Sergeant has resigned his position aa commander of the Tnird regiment of the Kansas National guard, but Governor Morrill haa not yet accept ed his resignation.

The Advocate presented its bill for printing to the secretary of state which waa subjected to a discount of fifty per cent under the new ruling of Assistant Secretary Stover. The amount allowed waa $2C9.o0. The Republican members of the state board of charities are Morton Aibaugb of Kingman and Senator K. E. Wilcock son of Oakley. George A. Clark of J unc tion City will be a member as soon as it a determined who he is to succeed, Mrs. Lease or Senator Householder. r THE ASYLUM COMMITTEE. It Will Meet Here Tomorrow to EfTVyet An Organization. The legislative committee appointed to investigate the charges against Sena tor Householder, Captain W. S. Wait, Mrs. Emma Pack, and Dr. Kniberg will meet in Topeka tamorrow to organize. The members of the committee are Senators Carpenter and Leeds, Repre sentatives Warner, Eckstein, and Smith of Sherman. There is some doubt about Colonel Warner's right to serve on ac count of his being a resident of the county where Senator Householder re sides. GOVERNOR MORRILL INTERCEDES. Asks the State Department to Protect John Waller. Governor Morrill has interested him self in John L. Wallers behalf and last night sent the following telegram to President Cleveland: Hon. Orover Cleveland. President of the Uni ted. States, Washington, 1. C: "Topeka, March 25. The newspaper dispatches report that Hon. John L. Waller, a citizen of this state and form erly United States conaul at Madagascar, has been most unjustly imprisoned by the French government under a sentence of a court martial without sufficient cause. I respectfully urge that the de partment of state take active measures at once for his protection and release. "E. N. Morrill, Governor." Stock Commission Investigating. The state live stock commission which has charge of the pleuro-pneumonia quarantine, held a meeting at the state house last evening, and went to Alta Vista today, from where the commission ers will go to the infected districts. The members of the board are J. F. Williams of Eureka, James W. Johnson, Eureka, and E. M. Turner, of Marysville. Mr. Turner resigned, and will be succeeded April 1 by J. W. Moore, of Marion.

It va3 Mr. Holcomb'a report on convict labor last summer which led Captain Hatch, now superintendent of the Hutchinson re formatory to interest himself in behalf of that institution. Snider Didn't Want to Go. In his letter of resignation Superin tendent of Insurance Snider said be waa a believer in the principle that "to the victor belong the spoils" but it is" said that when the governor sent for his res ignation Judge snider went to the ex ecutive office and entered his protest, as there had been an understanding that he would not be molested until July 1. Mot In the Play. At the Wigan pantomime the other night two ladies who lived at a dis taDce, having to cstch an early train, were obliged to leave the theater before the performance was finished.

New York Evening World. Disappointed. A Presbyterian minister in one of the Buburbs of Cincinnati has a bright and mischievous young son. The lad had suffered from the toothache, and all the household remedies had been tried in vain. As a last resort his father re solved to take him to the dentist on the following day and have the tooth re moved. The boy, on being informed of this, offered a few objections, but, finding that they were overruled, he decided to make the best of it. With an ingenuity of a Tom Sawyer he made himself a hero among his com panions. Great were the tales he told them of the strength that would be nec essary to remove that small "baby tooth. How the dentist would be com pelled to "use both his hands" and prob ably call in his assistant The eventful hour at last arrived, and the boy seated himself in the chair and took a firm grip on each arm. The dentist looked at the tooth, smiled, and taking tip a small steel instrument literally pried the little tooth out. Our young hero looked at the tooth, at the dentist, at his laughing father and then "got mad." Anger, disap pointmentand disgust were plainly de picted on his countenance. Not a ques tion -would he answer. He quietly walked over to the other side of the room and put on his hat and overcoat. His perplexed father followed him and put the fatal question, "My son, did it hurt you?" That was too much for the little fel low, and, with two big, angry tears rolling down his cheeks, he replied: "Hurt! Hurt! Why, he didn't pull my tooth out He just took it out with a tack lifter."
